You could make a quilt in those colors. Sew drapery,into a rug. It would measure 36lx32w. Tinker ( I hope this is the 1st time this has bee suggested)

I sleep under quilts I've inherited from my relatives who only had drapery material and upholstery material or wool to make them with. I love the weight and they look as good as ever. A lot of them are over 50 years old and I'm happy to have them. Good luck because the quilt will last forever.

I made a quilt with drapery fabric and alternated it with 100% cotton. It turned out great and wasn't much heavier than ususal.

Maybe for the back of a wall hanging. Whatever you do , it will be heavy. The potholders maybe the best.

CharlotteO, thanks for the link, those throws are delectable. A novel idea with dramatic results.

I agree, I think a bag would be great out of this.
